    Found

    Hi Ann

    Just located what you are looking for...
    1871
    Derbyshire
    Measham
    District 10
    Image number 11 of 20

    Looks like Poets Corner, High Street, Measham

    Noted this on the web
    A canal passed through Measham, although the basin has been filled ... call it Poet's Corner because all the streets are named after poets

    So hope this helps as I would say all 100%

        It's the Ashby Canal. The top several miles were abandoned because of mining subsidence - ironic really as the canal was built to serve the coal mines.
